Glasgow dad 'over the moon' at Govan welcome given to his autistic American son

A Glasgow-born dad has been left 'over the moon', after finally being able to take his American son to visit his hometown of Govan.

Derek Steen grew up in Govan before moving across to the States when he was 13. He had never been able to bring his son, Alex, to visit his first home due to his disabilities including ADHD, autism, and OCD.

The 17-year-old grew up listening to his dad's stories of his childhood in Glasgow and the pair were desperate to make the journey over to experience it together.
